NYC Spine & Pain

What NYC Spine & Pain does

NYC Spine & Pain is a private interventional pain management medical practice operating as Pain Physicians Association, PLLC, founded and led by Dr. Mehrdad Hedayatnia (Dr. Mike). The practice delivers a comprehensive portfolio of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar procedures — including cervical medial branch radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, facet/medial nerve blocks, nerve root blocks, stellate ganglion blocks, radiofrequency rhizotomy, kyphoplasty, percutaneous discectomy, sacroiliac joint injections, transforaminal injections, and the Racz procedure — alongside advanced implantable therapies such as spinal cord stimulators and baclofen/morphine intrathecal infusion pumps. Procedures are performed under fluoroscopy guidance on an outpatient basis.

The practice operates from four physical locations: Bay Ridge Medical Care (main location at 370 Bay Ridge Pkwy, Brooklyn), two Brooklyn Spine & Arthritis Center sites (1 Prospect Park West and 263 Seventh Avenue, Brooklyn), and a Staten Island location at 212 Garretson Avenue. The clinical team comprises Dr. Hedayatnia as Medical Director plus two nurse practitioners (Marsha Fridman, FNP and Lorraine Montemarano, NP-BC), with a total of 1-10 employees.

The business model is fee-for-service medicine reimbursed through insurance, including No Fault automobile accident claims and Worker's Compensation cases. Patient acquisition occurs through a multi-disciplinary referral network (orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical medicine doctors, primary care), the ZocDoc online booking platform, and word-of-mouth. The practice applies a horizontal segmentation approach targeting patients suffering from chronic and acute spine and musculoskeletal conditions — herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and fibromyalgia — across the New York Metropolitan Area, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external capital.

Products and services

• Cervical Medial Branch Radio Frequency Ablation Outpatient procedure using radiofrequency energy to disrupt medial branch nerve function and stop pain signal transmission from injured cervical facet joints; used for neck, shoulder, and upper back pain.
• Discograms Enhanced X-ray of intervertebral discs using injected dye to clearly visualize structural damage causing pain; typically performed prior to surgery.
• Epidural Steroid Injections Fluoroscopy-guided injection of corticosteroids into the epidural space to treat neck pain, headaches, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, radiculopathy, and spinal stenosis.
• Facet/Medial Nerve Block Fluoroscopy-guided injection that temporarily blocks pain signals carried by medial branch nerves feeding from spinal facet joints.
• Nerve Root Blocks Procedure to reduce inflammation of irritated nerve roots and block pain from traveling up the nerve to the brain, used to determine severity of injury.
• Stellate Ganglion/Sympathetic Blocks Injection of local anesthetic into sympathetic nerve tissue on either side of the voice box in the neck to reduce pain, swelling, and improve upper extremity mobility.
• Diagnostic Medical Branch Nerve Injections Diagnostic injection procedure used to determine whether facet joints are the source of lower back pain that stays above the knee.
• Intercostal Nerve Block Injection of steroid or other medication around intercostal nerves under each rib to reduce inflammation and pain in the chest wall area.
• Radiofrequency Rhizotomy Therapeutic procedure using localized heat from radiofrequency to destroy nerves innervating degenerative facet joints in the spine.
• Kyphoplasty Minimally invasive procedure using fluoroscopy and balloons to restore compressed thoracic/lumbar vertebrae to original position with bone cement; patients typically see pain improvement within 24-48 hours.
• Lumbar Sympathetic Block Injection of local anesthetic into or around sympathetic nerves on either side of the spine in the lower back to block pain and improve lower extremity symptoms.
• Percutaneous Discectomy Removal of herniated disc material through a small skin incision as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for low back and radicular pain.
• Sacroiliac Joint Injection Injection of numbing medicine and cortisone into the sacroiliac joint to diagnose pain source and provide long-term pain relief from inflammation.
• Transforminal Injections Injection of long-acting steroid into the foramen (opening on the side of the spine where nerve roots exist) to reduce inflammation and swelling of spinal nerve roots.
• Racz Procedure Series of three injections using a catheter to dissolve scar tissue around entrapped nerves in the epidural space, allowing medications to reach affected areas.
• Baclofen and Morphine Intrathecal Infusion Pumps Implantable device delivering concentrated medication into the spinal cord area through a catheter 24/7, eliminating the need for oral medicines and controlling pain breakthrough symptoms.
• Spinal Cord Stimulators Implantable device using tiny electrical impulses via wires placed on the spinal cord to interrupt nerve conduction to the brain, typically providing 50-70% pain reduction.
